The Minister’s Revenge By RUTH GRAHAM One night during a ball at Versailles —this was during the reign of Louis XIII. and the government of Cardinal Richelieu as prime minister—Dr. An tonio Langrado. a Spanish physician, who had found royal favor by coring r the king of an iHosas. was passing crom one poom to another when be met . a party of three in whom he fiett sure saw the enactment at Otte of those we stories which, though they are uimon, the world kwas as well as it 7 were rare. < / ise three wore a girl of nineteen i two men. - The man on the right was forty, qalto ftrt and with a red f&ce, denoting that be was much given to wine. He was evidently a roan of /Importance, for tris breast was covered / with the insignia at different orders. He on her left was a handsome young ' fellow not much oldgr than the girl, ' who wore but one a deooretkm ) tor military distinction. As the three passed Dr. Langrado the older man scowled at the younger, whose fingers played nervously with the handle of bib rapier, while the lady seemed to draw toward him and away from the other. But the doctor saw them only a moment, for they passed in among one throng, while be passed in among another. The ball being ended, Dr. Langrado went to his lodgings and to bed. He had barely fallen to sleep when he was awakened and hurried away to see a patient. The person coming for him— a young army officer —said to him: “Doctor, your patient has received a dangerous wound. It will be expected of you if questioned to report that he is ill of a fever. Do you understand?” “Partly. I presume he has been stabbed for reasons that are better 1 kept secret.” “Not exactly. Perhaps I should tell you the exact status. He has been wounded in a duel. You know the cardinal”— “Yes, I know that the cardinal has determined to stop this mania for duel ing, which is spilling the best 'blood in France, and if he knows the patient is half dead after fighting will have the headsman finish him.” “You are right. Can we rely on you?” “My business is to cure him if pos sible. I have nothing to do with how he was wounded.” The officer was obliged to be satis fied with this, and in a few minutes the two entered the chamber of his patient. The doctor found a dangerous wound in the side, which he bound up according to the treatment prevalent at that time. But what surprised him was that his patient wae the younger of the two men he had noticed with the girl at the ball at the palace. Dr. Langrado attended the Invalid tor several weeks and was getting him into a condition when it would be safe to leave him when be received a sum mons to report himself at the Palais Cardinal. He obeyed and was ushered into the cabinet of the prime minister. "Doctor,” said the cardinal, “you have attended young Raoul de Pour tales. What is his disease?” “He has no disease, your eminence. He has recovered.” “You have cured him of a wound, have you not?” “I decline to answer. I am not a subject of the king of France, but the king of Spain.” “But you are a physician, and as such I think I can require you to tell me whether your patient is sufficiently recovered to stand up manfully under the ceremony of being beheaded.” “I believe, your eminence, that he will stand such a ceremony without flinching. He is a splendid fellow.” The cardinal thought awhile before proceeding with the examination. “I should like to punish Pourtales’ antagonist," he said presently, “but he has succeeded in keeping himself un known. Since you are a Spanish citizen I will not require you to tell, if you know, but will ask you to do sq.” “Will not Pourtales give Kib oppo nent’s name?” “No.” “I see. He is an honorable man.” “Do you know who his opponent was?” “I think I do, your eminence.” “Well?” “I am not sure but that he is very near to his majesty the king. He may be of royal blood.” The cardinal paused again and thought The doctor, whose sympa thies were all with young Pourtales, fancied he saw away to save Jus life, but be waited for the minister to speak again. “In that case,” said Richelieu, “it might be best to ignore the matter. If what you suspect is true I may over look Pourtales’ disobedience.” Dr. Langrado told the story as it has been told here. He described the man he had seen in company with Pour tales on the night of the ball, and the cardinal recognized him at once as the Marquis de Ceaux. a relative of the king. Richelieu hated the marquis, but it was not in the line of his policy to being one of royal blood to the Mock. “Thank you, doctor,” he said wnen the story was finished. “What can I do to show my gratitude Cor the favor I have received ?' “Forgive my patient” “I will more than forgive him. I Will marry him to the girl he loves. This is all the punishment I can in flict on Do Ceaux. though I should like to marry him to the block." And the cardinal kept his promise. ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Luther Bridges Opens Revival in Atlanta. From Monday’s Constitution. Rev. Luther R. Bridges, who is conducting a two weeks’ series of revival meetings at the First Metho dist church, spoke last night to a large audience upon “Experimental Religion.” Mr. Bridges is an eloquent evan gelist. Although he is perhaps 30 years old, his youthful appearance is responsible for his sometimes being called, the “Boy Preacher.” Mr. Bridges is also a singer of fine quality, and, in the midst of his sermon last night, sang an impres sive solo, entitled “Peace.” Mr. Bridges will preach every morning at 10.30 o’clock, and in the evening at 7.45. At tonight’s ser vice! the Win-One quartet of the Central Baptist church will sing. Methodist Church Loses Vanderbilt. Nashville, Tenn., March 21 —The Tennessee supreme court today de cided the case involving the control of Vanderbilt university in fav.or of the university board of trust and against the college of bishop;) of the Southern Methodist church. The court held the board of trust to be a self-perpetuating body. The court, however, holds that the /board of trust’s selections are subject to confirmation by the gen eral conference or the church’s board of education, but sit until re jected. The Asheville general con ference’s selections for the board of trusts are denied their seats the trustees elected by the board of trust in June, 1910, namely, Claude Waller and Robert F. Jackson, of Nashville, and J. A. Robins, of Mc- Kenzie, Tenn., are seated pending rejection. The court held that “Commodore” Cornelius Vanderbilt and not the Southern Methodist church was the founder and original patrons of Vanderbilt university. Under the decision the college of bishops’ veto of the acceptance by the board of trust of Andrew Carnegie’s million dollar gift to the medical de partment is without effect.

Indeed, any of these firms will refund purchase price (50c.) without question if you are in any way dissatisfied with this vegetable liquid. It is very unwise to take calomel, even dangerous, as many people suffer from the poison afterwards, even though they may appear at first temporarily relieved. On the other hand, Dodson’s Liver Tone works easily and naturally (really assisting nature) with no pain nor gripe and correcting all bilious con ditions and ills of constipation,clear ing away the sick headache and the coated tongue, brightening up the dulled brain and strengthening the weakened body at the same time that it removes collected waste from the overburdened system. Those who have tried Dodson’s Liver Tone have found that it made them healthier and happier. A test may prove of great benefit to you right now. Discharge in Bankruptcy.
